  • In this paper we propose a goodness-of-fit test statistic for testing the (null) parametric model versus the (alternative) nonparametric model. Most of existing nonparametric test statistics are based on the residuals which are obtained by regressing the data to a parametric model. Our test is based on the bootstrap estimator of the probability that the smoothing parameter estimator is infinite when fitting residuals to cubic smoothing spline. Power performance of this test is investigated and is compared with many other tests. Illustrative examples based on real data sets are given.

  • When the linear growth birth and death process observed at a set of equidistant time points, McNeil and Weiss (1997) present a method for simultaneously estimating the Malthusian parameter and the sum of the two parameters under wery restricted assumptions using a diffusion approximation. This article suggests a method, which does not require the restrictions given by Weiss, for estimating simultaneously the Malthusian parameter and the sum of the two parameters.

  • This article deals with the problem of estimating parameters of Burr Type XII distribution, on the basis of a general progressive Type II censored sample using Bayesian viewpoints. The maximum likelihood estimator does not admit closed form but explicit sharp lower and upper bounds are provided. Assuming squared error loss and linex loss functions, Bayes estimators of the parameter k, the reliability function, and the failure rate function are obtained in closed form. Finally, a simulation study is also included.

  • Inspired by using a robust loss function in the support vector machine regression to control training error and the idea of robust template matching with M-estimator, Chen (2004) applies M-estimator techniques to gaussian radial basis functions and form a new class of robust kernels for the support vector machines. We are specially interested in the shape of the Huber's M-estimator in this context and propose a way to find the shape parameter of the Huber's M-estimating function. For simplicity, only the two-class classification problem is considered.

  • Suppose that we have $k(k \geq 2)$ populations (or systems), say $\pi_1, \cdots, \pi_k$, to be tested. Under the type-II censored testing without replacement we consider the problem of estimating the unknown parameters of interests and the reliability for a given time t for each population. Also we compare the perfomances of the proposed Bayes estimators with another estiamtors under the Jeffrey-type noninformative prior distribution.

On Bahadur Efficiency and Bartlett Adjustability of Quasi-LRT Statistics

  • When the LRT is not feasible, we define quasi-LRT(QLRT) as a modification of the LRT Under some appropriate conditions the QLRT shares Bahadur optimality and Bartlett Adjustability with the LRT. When we can find maximum likelihood estimator under the null parameter space but not under the unrestricted parameter space, our QLRT is Bahadur optimal as is the LRT We suggest the stopping rule of the Newton-Raphson iterations for constructing the QLRT statistics which are Bartlett adjustable.

  • We derive an It${\hat{o}}$ formula for generalized functionals for the fractional Brownian sheet with arbitrary Hurst parameter ${H_1},\;H_2$ ${\epsilon}$ (0,1). As an application, we consider a stochastic integral representation for the local time of the fractional Brownian sheet.

  • We consider penalized likelihood regression with exponential family responses. Parallel to recent development in Gaussian regression, the fast computation through asymptotically efficient low-dimensional approximations is explored, yielding algorithm that scales much better than the O($n^3$) algorithm for the exact solution. Also customizations of the direct cross-validation strategy for smoothing parameter selection in various distribution families are explored and evaluated.

  • Empirical Bayes approach is applied to estimation of the binomial parameter when there is a cost for observations. Both the sample size and the decision rule for estimating the parameter are determined stochastically by the data, making the result more useful in applications. Our empirical Bayes problems with non-iid components are compared to the usual empirical Bayes problems with iid components. The asymptotic optimal procedure with a computer simulation is given.
